Thanks guys,exactly what i was looking for.

I've seen in photos this thing that clamps to the

it. Where do you get these.

Thanks BoB.--The passion one feels about his music for me comes from your musical surroundings ,sometimes it even makes your hair stand.Cajun music does this to me because of my child hood and adult exposer to it.--But when i first heard Earnest Tubb on black and white T.v. and he sang WALKING THE F...

Hey Scott
I belong to the National Sporting Clay Association and shoot on regular basis. Also enjoy building shaker style furniture. I only hope that one day my
steel playing gets to the level my shooting is.
